Do Firefox updates clear network.automatic entries?

After updating Firefox to version 17.0.7, my custom entries were removed from the network.automatic list. Is it possible the update did this or should I be looking at other possibilities. And if it was the update, can this be prevented for future updates?

Thanks for the reply.
Are you saying Yes as in the update caused my network.automatic list to be cleared or Yes as in this can be prevented? I am not concerned in having the most up-to-date version as my corporation only allows specific versions of the software to be installed due to our approval process.

Since the last Firefox update my computer automatically goes online at start up and I do NOT want to do this, so how can I discontinue?

I've searched through my system preferences and Firefox preferences and both helps and cannot figure out how to prevent the computer from automatically going online (using Firefox) when I start it up. I do not want this to happen because the computer will be online when I am not using it; this poses security problems. In addition, this happened after the latest automatic update of Firefox and makes me wonder if someone is invading my privacy. I only want to go online when I open Firefox.

Uncheck Edit > Preferences > Store > Show iTunes in the cloud purchases
The correct way to move iTunes from one computer to another is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer. This will make everything in iTunes on the new computer exactly as it was on the old computer.

Firefox update 31.0 automatically signing me out email, social media, etc. automatically during current session. Any fixes on this bug yet?

Logging into accounts such as Gmail and Facebook, and getting automatically signed out after a few minutes of being logged in during the same session of Firefox. Haven't had this issue in previous versions of Firefox with current settings (safe browsing mode, clear history, etc.). This query is not about being logged in when I reopen and start a new session with Firefox - this issue is during an open Firefox session.

Hello,
It seems that the Cookies file of your profile is corrupted. I think, deleting the files will fix your problem. For doing so, please do following:
# Go to '''Menu''' and then '''Help''' By pressing the "Question Mark" of bottom.
# Then go '''Troubleshooting Information'''.
# Click on '''Show Folder'''.
# In that folder, delete the following Files
#* cookies.sqlite
#* cookies.sqlite-shm
#* cookies.sqlite-wal
Then restart your Firefox.
Hope after this, your problem has been solved. Please get back to us by letting us know if it solves.

Office 365 x64 Click-to-Run Not Automatically Updating from Network Share

We are piloting Office 365 x64 and pointing the clients to a network share (see config file below) for updates. When we subsequently download the updates to the share the clients will not automatically install them. If we manually do so from
within an app (File > Account > Update Options > Update Now) it works fine. The ACL and Sharing permissions allow Everyone and Domain Computers read-only access (in addition to some other ancillary accounts). I've tried manually running
the Office Automatic Updates from Task Scheduler and left the box running overnight. I've rebooted, logged back on, closed and opened the app several times. Nothing happens, just always sits at the current version.
Anyone have any ideas?
 Thanks,
 Bryan
Here's the UpdateURL registry key:

Hi,
I replied in the other thread:

It seems when the install finished it added an extra Office\Data to the path. My path should be \\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data\15.0.4551.1005
but it shows
\\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data\Office\Data15.0.4551.1005
If I edit the path and delete the extra Office\Data Office 365 ProPlus updates from my network location. I cannot figure out why it is adding the extra Office\Data to the path.
My config file looks like this:
 <Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="\\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data" />
have you tried omitting the \Office\Data element, from the Updates element ?

The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7. March) with the same "request". Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Firefox 3.6.15 and Adobe flash player 10.1.82.76 are currently installed.

Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 is not the latest version of Flash. '''r152''' is the latest.

Firefox 22 update cleared my Download Manager Tweak history

Apparently, I made the mistake of updating Firefox 18 to Firefox 22, and I use the Download Manager Tweak add-on so I can easily see my list of recent downloads, etc.etc. Updating to Firefox 22 cleared the history of the Download Manager Tweak. While the history of all downloads (even ones I cleared from the Tweak window) is there in the History >Show All History >Downloads, it didn't keep the list I had in the add-on.
These 2 lists are different. I wanted to keep the one in the add-on.
Running Windows XP, btw.

The developer obviously did not change the Mozilla Add-ons page; it says '''''"Works with Firefox 3.0 and later"''''' under Version Information.
Per the page on http://dmextension.mozdev.org/ , you will need to contact the developer in the forum at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=1086555 to inquire about the Firefox version compatibility and retrieving/saving/protecting your history for the add-on if that is possible.

Firefox updated automatically while internet was disconnected, and now it is showing that I have the updated version of Firefox. What should I do?

I started Firefox while the internet was disconnected. But before opening, Firefox updated automatically, not notifying me that I was disconnected. It now shows that I have the most updated version of Firefox. What should I do?
Operating System: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.

It will have downloaded the update whilst you were connected, and the next time you started Firefox it will have installed the update whether you were connected or not.

Vpn icon no longer works after automatic firefox update. How do I get connection back?

Weight Watchers Connections icon changes to some other browser page after Firefox updates itself. How do I get settings back?

Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file.
If you still have the signons.sqlite file that was used in Firefox 31 and older then you could try to recover the passwords saved in that file (you will lose passwords saved in Firefox 32).
You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file.
* reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the about:config page to the default value via the right-click context menu
* delete the logins.json file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.

I have been getting this (or earlier version) messages every time Firefox updates for at least a year "The Java Console extension is no longer supported and will be automatically removed the next time you restart Firefox. " What should I do?

For a long time, each time Firefox updates, it invites me to install theJava Console Update. then I get a message that Java Console not supported.

You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions

* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Normally Firefox updates automatically. But more or less a week ago I had to do it manually and only the 11 contacts I had lately contact with are on my contact

Emails are not lost.

Are these contacts managed by an add on or extension? It is possible that the add on may not be compatible with the Firefox update.
What is being used to manage this lost data?

Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.

If it happens again then try to reload the website or clear the cache and the cookies from that website.
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
"Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

Flash does not work correctly in full screen after most recent Firefox update

== Issue
==
Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
== Description
==
Yesterday, firefox updated itself automatically. The "what's new" screen suggested that I update Flash immediately, so I did. I had a little trouble. I eventually uninstalled Flash and re-installed with the latest version, but it is now up to date. Now flash videos will not play properly in full screen. The picture will freeze for a few seconds with the audio still playing, the screen will go blank, then the video will restart from where the audio was when the screen went blank. Sometimes Flash will crash completely and I will have to reload the page to restart the video, even not full screen. Other times I get an error message that my video driver stopped working. I have checked and my video driver is up to date.

I updated to 3.6.4 and when I went to NetFlix to watch the next show of a series, it said
something like
Installation complete, restart your browser.
I restarted browser, same problem. Restarted comp. Same problem.
I updated Adobe Flash 10.1, still same problem.
But able to watch some vids on other sites, but full screen gave me the big blank white screen with audio only, had to click around in the dark ( so to speak) to find the minimize button.
I did a System Restore to before the Firefox and Adobe updates.
I then did not update Firefox as recommended and went to NetFlix and wellah, i can view the movies again.
And Full Screen is fine.
I then experimented and updated Firefox only, went to NetFlix and got same msg with no viewable shows.
So did a System Restore once more.
Staying at 3.6.3 for a while longer until I know I can watch my movies.
I don't own a TV, so this is my only form of an occasional escape.
I do hope this is figured out soon.
With what I have done, it seems to be Firefox, Not Flash.
Good Luck to us all.

Do Firefox updates clear network.automatic entries?
